Alex Bregman leaves the Red Sox game against Orioles with leg injury

The third Baseman of Red Sox, Alex Bregman, had to leave the Baltimore Orioles on Friday afternoon in the fifth inning with an obvious leg injury. The team named the injury shortly after Bregman's departure “right quad tightness”.

The injury does not sound bad, but it leaves the Red Sox without the most constant bat of the team on a day when they have to play two games against Orioles. Life is certainly not easier for Boston, although the Red Sox took the lead 6-2 against Baltimore The Inning after Bregman was forced.

Alex Bregman's injury

With two outs and no runners in the fifth end of the fifth, Bregman laced a line drive single from the green monster in the left field. He rounded himself together before taking the brakes when he realized that stretching the hit in a double was not the best call, but seemed to be optimized in his leg.

Bregman knew that something was wrong when he returned to the first basis and immediately pointed on his leg and signaled for a prise runner.

Bregman went from the field and the locker room in Boston and was replaced by Pinch-Runner Abraham Toro. Nick Sogard switched from the first to third place to take over for Bregman in the top of the sixth place, while Toro took over on the first basis for Sogard.

It is unclear how much time the injury will cost Bregman, but the Red Sox probably have a big gap to fill the line -up on Friday evening.

Alex Bregman with the Red Sox

Bregman was the most consistent player in his first season with the Red Sox Boston's most consistent player and led the team with 11 Homeruns (Rafael Devers with his 11th home on the sixth Inning -Friday) and 17 doubles with 35 RBI and his 42 -RBI. After his fifth In-Ining single, Bregman lowered the Red Sox .299/.385/.553 on Friday.

The loss of him takes one of the best bats in Boston from the line -up and one of the team's most solid gloves on the field. We will now wait and how long the injury is and how long Bregman could cost, who signed a three-year contract over $ 120 million with Red Sox late in the off-season.

The Red Sox will also play the Orioles on Friday evening at 7.10 p.m., so it will be interesting to see who places Alex Cora on the third basis for this inclination. Devers has been from Boston from Boston since the registration of Bregman Boston's DH and has not played since last season.

The Bregman injury does not sound too serious -quadness is much better than the thigh injury that many believed that Bregman had suffered -so it will probably not open the door for Prospect Marcelo Mayer to make their way to the majors. Mayer is in the occupation of Worcester Red Sox for his game at 4:05 p.m. against Durham in Worcester and, according to Ian Browne from Redsox.com, remains with the Woosox.
